October 15, 2024 · 64 min

Kara Goucher grew up with dreams of running in the Olympics. Invited to join the Nike Oregon project, it felt like the opportunity to compete and win a medal at the Games would be realised. She competed at the Olympics, World Championships and some of the best marathons in the world. Then it turned horribly wrong. She has a new book that details precisely what happened. We discussed that as well as what she is up to currently.Kara's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Longest-Race/Kara-Goucher/9781982179144Find The 286 Project on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/the286project About The 286 ProjectA podcast talking about art, politics, culture, sport....and anything else we can think of.
